As one of the main goals of this study, the optimized conditions
determined were tested on wastewater which was supplied
from a textile dyeing factory in Bursa in Turkey. The CWPO of this
wastewater was performed at the optimized conditions. At these
conditions, 46.0% of dye removal and 22.4% of COD removal was
achieved, respectively. In the same conditions, the H2O2 amount
was doubled to investigate if the H2O2 amount had a considerable
effect. The dye removal increased just to 50.06% at the end of 2 h.
Then, all the other conditions were kept constant except for the
activated carbon loading, and it was doubled. Again the removal
(49.30%) did not change considerably. The result obtained is not as
much as expected. Because at these optimum conditions with using
the prepared synthetic wastewater, the dye removal obtained was
approximately 90% whereas with the textile industry wastewater,
the removal obtained was around 50%.
